Thread: Serial Dream RPG

Alas, I have brought this upon myself.

*glee*

After all my previous failures, I'm fairly proud of myself, for getting this one so soon!

(I'm going to go back to some of the other dreams, but I'm amazed that I was able to succeed in this lucid "mission", so soon after reading WakingNomad's Serial Dream RPG thread. So I just had to hurry up and write this one out. I just wish I was able to remember some more of the details. I got up at about 5am and browsed Dream Views a bit, reminding myself to try for Nomad's first mission. In the past, I haven't had much luck with RPG-type tasks (of which my journal constantly reminds me ), but, amazingly, this one came pretty easily.

I believe I was in my old high school cafeteria. There had been a bit going on, before this point, but I don't remember very much at all. My earliest memory of this dream was becoming lucid, by noticing how unclear and "hazy" things were. I just didn't feel like I was in reality, and I quickly realized this to be because I was in an unstable dream. Immediately, I brought my hands up in front of me, and stared at them, trying to pull together all of the visual detail I could. I had an extra finger on each hand, and each one was loosely attached to the pinky before it, practically webbed. I lowered my hands and looked around, having succeeded in bringing things into more clarity. With almost uncommon ease (for myself, anyway, lol), I quickly remembered my intention to try Nomad's RPG mission. I didn't quite remember every detail of his scenario, but I remembered that I had to be walking on a path through the woods, and look at myself in a mirror. Judging by where I was, though, there wasn't a wooded area anywhere near me.

I began to float through the school hallways, hovering in a standing position, as if my feet were still on the floor. After a while, I began to lose patience, getting the feeling that I wasn't any closer to finding an exit than when I started, so I tried some scene changing. Figuring that spinning would likely cause me to wake up, I closed my eyes lightly, and thought of the woods. When I opened them, I was in another setting (which I can't really remember), but it was definitely not a wooded path. I tried at least once or twice more, with no success. Then, I opened them again to find myself standing in some grass in a field. A bit closer to the woods than any of my other attempts, I imagined that, once I turned to the left, I would be in the middle of the woods. I spun to the left, and after a short blur of my vision, I saw that I was, indeed, standing in the middle of the woods, on a fairly wide path which ran through the cluster of trees around me.

The next thing I remembered was that I had to look at myself in a mirror, and wondered how I would get my hands on one. Ironically, I didn't even think about just turning around, to have one in front of me. Instead, I thought about the way I'd created a door, in my Water Dragon dream, and decided to do something similar. I put my hands in front of me, as if I was holding a single point in space with the index fingers and thumbs of both my hands. I then pulled my hands apart, horizontally, creating a thin line which stretched between the two hands. Once it was a few inches wide, I then spread my index fingers away from their respective thumbs, expanding what was once a thin line, into an empty box (or "frame") between my fingers. The geometric shape sat there between my fingers, as if I were holding a transparent credit card between my hands. Then, considering this to be the back side of the mirror, I then twisted my fingers so the box flipped around, vertically. It was like I had actually cut out a square, in my field of view, and then flipped everything inside that square - trees and all - around like a card. On the other side was a perfect little mirror, which I held up to my face, remembering that I had chosen a Djinn . I saw a hazy, obscure version of myself staring back at me. I couldn't really make out all the details, but it looked incredibly plain - just my regular self.

A little bored with this rendition of my character, I lowered the mirror away from my face. Clearing my mind and just hoping for something a little more interesting - yet trying not to consciously influence the outcome - I looked back into the mirror. This picture was much clearer. It was still me, but I was shirtless, and had thick, short, brownish/reddish hair which sat wildly, on top of my head. Two pointy little bumps of my skull sat above my eyebrows; a modest set of horns, which hadn't quite broken through the skin. I grinned at myself, which seemed quite humorously wicked. Overall, I figured my Djinn to be quite a handsome devil, so I was satisfied. Something happened, at this point, where my reflection began to take on a life of its own. This part is really fragmented, but I remember getting into an altercation with my reflection, and we started pushing/pulling on each other, like the shoving match we had in my last dream where I saw my reflection. I don't remember if I grabbed him and pulled him out of the mirror, or he grabbed me and pulled me into the mirror, but we were suddenly on the same plane, rolling around on the wooded path and trying to gain advantage over the other. Don't remember the outcome of that, though.

Later, I was back into open an open field. There were a few people milling around, and a lake nearby. On the lake, I saw an abandoned little boat struggling to stay afloat. I levitated myself and flew over to it, landing on top of it, feeling like taking a little explorative ride around this enormous lake. The boat was a small, blue motorboat with no motor. So, I took hold of the boat, telekinetically, and pushed it around the lake with my mind. Every now and then, I wondered if I would come across any of my usual sea monsters, but I was feeling a real sense of empowerment, in being my new Djinn character, and I honestly didn't care what I encountered, because I felt that I could take on anything.

I know there was so much more than happened, after this. I distinctly remember stopping somewhere and running back over the events of the dream in my mind, and trying to recall them before I woke up, which is what I usually do during long lucids. But, sooner or later the dream ended. I think a lot of time must had passed between the dream and the time I actually woke. Otherwise, I think I would have remembered a lot more than I did. I was only concerned with retaining the lucid portion, though, and I'm happy to have recalled as much as I had.

(I plan on either drawing, modeling, or photoshopping a rendition of what my Djinn/self looked like in the dream, when I have the time. )

Everyday, at least for my original thread-based DJ. I only use the blog DJ when I post interesting dreams.

Depends. In the summer it's harder for me because of lack of sleep schedule. I should be good though in a couple weeks.

The more vivid the dream, the less dream control I have. The less vivid, the more control.

I'm not sure who I'll be though. I'll be a vampire with wings for now.

Sounds cool. I want to be a human shadow mage (weild darkness to cast spells and stuffs like transformation). My lucidity is off and on, but I have enough consistancy to do it in a month.

That's awesome! I am glad you are joining. So, the main thing is to go in the woods, and look at your winged vampire self in a mirror.

Well, we are doing one "mission" every two weeks. Try and become a shadow mage by September 15th! Go in the woods, and look at your shadow mage self in a mirror.

Does it matter if we do this while we are lucid or nonlucid?

I dont really log in my journal often. It is only when sonethig interesting, a dream sign or something profound occurs. My dream control is pretty good. I can change scenes and all, and I pretty much can do anything once I realize this is simply my mind and all ispossible. I have lucid dreampt every night and nap this week.

That's brilliant! It takes me way longer than that to call up a specific dream. Congrats!

That is awesome. I am looking forward to reading your shadow mage dream.

I'll be ready. I'm pretty excited about this, now. Would love to see where it goes!

Thanks, Samael! Yeah, that one surprised me, too. Hehe. I'm sure you'll get it soon!

Thanks for the invite!
Sure, I will join it.

Hey guys, if itbis possible, this is really stepping on the line of biting of mire than you can chew, try to incorporate each others' chars in your dreams! That would be really cool!

You've found yourself a vampire shapeshifter.

How often do you log in your DJ? Whenever i have a dream i remember

How often do you lucid dream?a few times a week, maybe more if my recall is being nice haha.

What is your dream control like? I have pretty good control, i'm able to remember my goals and i've had lucid sex before, so i'd say its pretty fair xD

I want to lead you on a journey where you slowly acquire weapons, armor, magic, and whatever abilities and items you desire.

First of all I'd like to say great thread man. I'd like to give this a shot if I can. This is probably what I need to get some more motivation outside of "just getting lucid".



How often do you log in your DJ? At least once a day. I'll start one on this site again.

How often do you lucid dream? I average about 8 LDs a month, but I've been spiking around the upper teens recently this year.

What is your dream control like? I'd rate it at a 7 out of 10. I can get most objectives going, but I'm still struggling with things like scene changes.

Drizzt and Transformers

I was in a big room. It was a battle arena of some sort. I had a small transformer maby about 1 foot tall. There were a bunch of other transformers boosting around the area fighting. I saw a few other people telling them what to do (kinda like pokemon selecting attacks). One of the evil transformers managed to get some object which apparently when fused with the transformer would make him unstoppable. I was chasing the transformer with mine as is sped towards its master. I dont remember what happened next but I was in some small sort of cardboard box. It was like a cell. I though "fuck this!" and walked out. There were two guard guys who didnt seem to care that I just walked out of the cell. I was wondering where that evil guy was. He was only half my height. I was gona find him and smash him! I realised I was dreaming but didnt do any RC's or stabilize. I was looking all over for the kid when I found a big white horse outside. I jumped on and started riding with no saddle. It was great! I was going really fast through the country. There were pine forrests on either side of me. Thats when I remembered my task. I dismounted the horse and started running towards the forrest. My voice got very deep and I felt like I was someone else. I tried to pull scimitars out my my sides but there werent any. It felt like I was wearing a sweatshirt that was a few sizes too small. I said out loud "I am Drizzt Do'Urden" and looked at my hands as I imagined them becoming a dark grey/black but they didnt turn. Then the dream started destabilizing. I tried to hold on to it but it slipped and I woke up.


Darn not very high level of lucidity and poor controll pretty close though. I should be able to get a more decent one by the 15th but atleast thats something

Nice shot, Ferret! You were very close. If you can keep it together long enough to get the mirror part down, you'll have it!

Good job getting lucid man! And your rode a horse in the woods! This is badass.

Haha thanks guys! Yea I was so close and I wasnt lucid very long. Was so gutted the dream faded but it wasnt a normal LD because I didnt RC, if I did I probably would have stabilised and so on.

Yea riding the horse was really cool! Iv riden a horse in another lucid before and its a lot cooler than you would think. I was making it go real fast haha.

any ideas or ways to meditate into it? i've never really done a goal like this.

Awesome, bro. Please create a character type for yourself. Basically, a race and a role/job whatever you want to call it.

Hell, yeah, Spawn! Please create a character, and post it here. Just type the race and the role of your character.

Crazy how real dreams can feel, huh?

Yes. Create a daydream of the scenario, of the dream you want to have. Walk around in the woods, find the mirror, look at yourself in it, all in your imagination while you are awake. Imagine in vivid detail what your character looks like, texture of skin, eye color, height, clothing, whatever. Imagine what it feels like to be in a different body, to have other powers.

Now, after you have this daydream locked into your brain, briefly review it as you do your RC's throughout the day.

As you fall asleep, imagine walking through a door into the woods. You are your character. You find or summon a mirror, and look at yourself in it.

This here is the character I am trying to become. His name is Drizzt Do'Urden. He is a dark elf ranger. Im really keen to be him but more of an assassin rather than a ranger. If you other guys can find pics similar to the character you are trying to be please post them and I can try to imagine you in my adventure

Ferret, that is a sick ass picture. The artist is amazing. You look like you are about to fuck shit up!
